Suppose x-6 is listed as a possible answer. That is zero if x = 6. So put x=6 into the original x^2 + 4x - 60 to get 6^2 + 4*6 - 60 = 36 + 24 -60 = 0. hence x-6 is a factor.
Answer (x-6)
on this hand :x-5 is not a factor, because plugging x=5 into does not work.
If the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles in a jar is 3 to 8, the meaning is for every 3 red marbles there are 8 blue marbles.
3 red marbles------------------8 blue marbles.
ratio=3/8
we have 40 blue marbles; we have to compute the number of red marbles.
1) Method 1; by the rule three.
3 red marbles-----------------8 blue marbles
x----------------------------------40 blue marbles
x=(3 red marbles * 40 blue marbles) / 8 blue marbles=15 red marbles.
answer: B. 15
Method 2: the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles is
ratio=number of red marbles / number of blue marbles
ratio=3/8
if we want to compute the number of red marbles we have to multiply the number of blue marbles by this ratio.
number of red marbles=ratio (red/blue)* number of blue marbles
number of red marbles=(3/8)*40=15
Answer: B.15
Answer:
37.97
Step-by-step explanation:
y=-0.00001(37000)+0.97
=-37+0.97
